haslem awaits dirk but this dirk seems...different. he seems more focused and is just an overall better passer now. he seems more confident than ever. the key will be the bench and how many different ways dallas can score. so far, barea has been good for at least a game in every series.

He'a put three of those Baseline spins everytime he sees Ibaka too close to his body, and Perkins falling asleep on Helpside. Nowitzki is much better when he mixes in drives on defenders who body him up really closely.

What's weird is Ibaka seems quicker than Dirk. I'd think he would recover much better but Dirk absolutely humiliated him lol.
